TERMS

PRICE CONDITIONS

The minimum ‘starting from’ price quoted is dependent on all the content (text, images and keywords) being provided upfront, and in the right formats (more details can be found on the Terms of Service page under General > Content).

If needed, I can help to audit and structure the available content and offer image searches, but this will extend the project timeline, and add extra revisions, which will impact on the final quotation.

DOMAIN & WEB HOSTING FEES

Domain registration and web hosting fees are not included in the design fee, but I can advise on this if necessary.

ASSISTANCE WITH SSL CERTIFICATE (HTTPS) INSTALLATION

SSL Certificates are optional for most sites, but essential for e-Commerce sites.

WHY I RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER THIS:

The company that provides the SSL Certificate validates your business and your identity before they issue the certificate to you. The certificate ensures that your customers can be confident that you have a legitimate business.

It also enables your server to set up an encrypted connection between your website and your customers’ browsers, so that their billing and shipping details cannot be intercepted in the clear by a third party. Google also prioritises sites with HTTPS, so this should have a positive effect on your rankings as an added bonus.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SET THIS UP:

• a dedicated IP address from your web hosting company

• confirmation from your web hosting company that your server is correctly configured for SSL

• an SSL Certificate with extended validation from a reputable company

PROCESS

BRIEF

Please complete the form on my Contact page in as much detail as possible, and I will get back to you with a few more questions to clarify your requirements. Then I will send you a project proposal / quote for your approval.

THE PROPOSAL

Once the proposal is approved, you can sign and send it back to me, and keep a copy for your records. I will then ask you to kindly complete the 50% deposit payment to reserve your place in my queue. Once I have your proof of payment and the signed proposal, the fun part can begin!

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Phase 1 – Research

Based on your brief, I will do market research and visual research to see how we can make your website stand out. I will also select several Premium themes for you to choose from.

Phase 2 – Concept Development (Sitemap, Style Tiles)

Next we will establish your site architecture and overall design look & feel.

Phase 3 – Design + Layout (Wireframes, Comps)

Then we will move on to the structure of your content (on mobile, tablet and desktop), and then I will create high fidelity comps (mockups) of your visual design.

Phase 4 – Development

Once we have locked down your visual design, I will then build your site on my development platform, and focus on your site’s functionality.

Phase 5 – Testing + Sign-off

Finally, I will create a staging site for us to thoroughly test on your specified devices and browsers, and make any necessary tweaks to the functionality. For redesigns, doing this allows a smooth transition to your new site with minimal downtime.

DELIVERY

Once you are completely happy with your site and have settled the final payment, I will migrate your new site to your web host’s server. I will also create your customised User Guide and Social Media Banners and email them to you.

TIMEFRAME

Please allow 4-6 weeks, depending on the scope of work, and readiness of content to be used.
